  1. Definitions
    1. In this policy:

      1. Personal data means information relating to identifiable individuals, such as job applicants, current and former employees, agency, contract and other staff, clients, suppliers and marketing contacts. This includes expression of opinion about the individual and any indication of someone else’s intentions towards the individual.

      2. Special category personal data means information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health conditions, sexual life, sexual orientation, biometric or genetic data. Personal data relating to criminal offences and convictions should also be treated as special category personal data.

It includes obtaining, recording or holding the data, or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the data including organising, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it. Processing also includes transmitting or transferring personal data to third parties.

  1. General principles
    1. Llanishen RFC’s policy is to process personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and rights of individuals as set out below. All staff have personal responsibility for the practical application of Llanishen RFC’s Data Protection Policy.

    2. Llanishen RFC will observe the following principles in respect of the processing of personal data, ensuring that personal data is:

      1. Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner (‘Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency’).

      2. Collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes (‘Purpose Limitation’).

      3. Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed (‘Data Minimisation’).

      4. Accurate and where necessary kept up to date (‘Accuracy’).

      5. Not kept in a form which permits identification of individuals for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data is processed (‘Storage Limitation’).

      6. Processed in a manner that ensures its security using appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage (‘Security, Integrity and Confidentiality’).

    3. Llanishen RFC is responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with the data protection principles listed above (the ‘Principle of Accountability’).

  1. Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency
    1. Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the individual.

      Lawfulness

    2. All should ensure that there is a legal basis for processing personal data. The legal bases for processing are as follows:

      1. the individual has given his or her consent (see 13 below);

      2. the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the individual;

      3. to meet Llanishen RFC’s legal compliance obligations;

      4. to protect the individual's vital interests;

      5. for the performance of a task in the public interest;

      6. to pursue Llanishen RFC’s legitimate interests, where these interests are not overridden because the processing prejudices the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual(s). The purposes for which we process personal data for legitimate interests need to be set out the privacy notices (see section 5.4 below).

    3. If staff / Volunteers are unsure what legal basis is applicable to the personal data they are processing they should contact DATA PROTECTION OFFICER.

    4. The processing of special category data (see 3.1(b) above) will require an additional legal basis for processing. It will normally be necessary to have an individual’s explicit consent to process special category personal data. Staff should contact the DATA PROTECTION OFFICER for more information the appropriate legal basis for processing special category data.

      Fairness & Transparency (Privacy Notices)

    5. Data protection law requires us to provide detailed, specific information to individuals about how and why their personal data is being processed. Such information must be provided through appropriate privacy notices.

    6. Privacy notices must be concise, transparent, intelligible, easily accessible, and in clear and plain language so that an individual can easily understand them.

    7. Whenever Llanishen RFC collects personal data directly from individual, the individual must be provided with a privacy notice containing all the information required by data protection law (including the identity of the data controller and the Data Protection Officer, how and why Llanishen RFC will use, process, disclose, protect and retain that personal data). The privacy notice must be provided when the individual first provides Llanishen RFC with the personal data. Llanishen RFC’s general privacy notice will usually be appropriate in relation to the general purposes for which Llanishen RFC collects personal data.

    8. When personal data is collected indirectly (for example, from a third party or publically available source), the individual must be provided with a privacy notice including all the information required under data protection law, as soon as possible, after collecting/receiving the data, but no later than the first communication with the individual or 1 month from receiving the personal data (whichever is earlier), unless this proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.

    9. As in 5.7 above Llanishen RFC’s general privacy notice will usually be appropriate in relation to the general purposes for which Llanishen RFC collects personal data. Staff should individuals a copy of our privacy notice in the first communication or within 1 month of receiving the personal data, whichever is earlier. This is available from www.Llanishen.RFC.Wales Staff should inform DATA PROTECTION OFFICER if this is likely to prove impossible or involve disproportionate effort.

    10. Staff are required to include a link to Llanishen RFC’s privacy notice in their e-mail signature.

    11. Staff should contact the DATA PROTECTION OFFICER if it is necessary to draft a privacy notice or if they are unclear as to when a privacy notice is required.

  1. Purpose limitation
    1. Personal data must be collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes. It must not be further processed in any manner incompatible with those purposes.

    2. Staff cannot use personal data for new, different or incompatible purposes from those disclosed when the personal data was first obtained, unless staff have informed the individuals of the new purposes and legal basis being relied upon (if this legal basis is consent, appropriate consent must be obtained (see section 13 below).

  1. Data minimisation
    1. Personal data must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.

    2. Staff must not keep personal data, in a form which permits the identification of an individual, for longer than needed for the legitimate purpose or purposes for which Llanishen RFC originally collected it.

    3. Llanishen RFC maintains a Data Retention Policy to ensure personal data is deleted, after a reasonable time, when it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was being held.

    4. Staff will take all reasonable steps to destroy or erase from Llanishen RFC’s systems all personal data that we no longer require in accordance with Llanishen RFC’s Data Retention Policy. This includes requiring third parties to delete such data where applicable.

    5. Staff will ensure individuals are informed of the period for which data is stored and how that period is determined in any applicable privacy notice (see 5.4 -5.8).

  1. Security integrity and confidentiality
    1. Personal data must be secured by appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing, and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

    2. Llanishen RFC must implement reasonable and appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, or destruction of personal data.

    3. Llanishen RFC must maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data, defined as follows:

      1. Confidentiality means that only people who have a need to know and are authorised to use the personal data can access it.

      2. Integrity means that personal data is accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed.

      3. Availability means that authorised users are able to access the personal data when they need it for authorised purposes.

    4. Llanishen RFC will develop, implement and maintain safeguards appropriate to:

      1. our size, scope and business;

      2. our available resources;

      3. the amount of personal data that we own or maintain on behalf of others; and

      4. identified risks (including use of encryption and pseudonymisation (i.e.replacing information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual with one or more artificial identifiers or pseudonyms so that the person, to whom the data relates, cannot be identified without the use of additional information which is meant to be kept separately and secure) where applicable).

    5. Llanishen RFC will regularly evaluate and test the effectiveness of those safeguards to ensure security of our processing of personal data.

    6. Staff have a responsibility for protecting the personal data Llanishen RFC holds.

    7. Staff must exercise particular care in protecting special category personal data (see 3.1(b) above) from loss and unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

    8. Staff must follow all procedures of Llanishen RFC put in place to maintain the security of all personal data from the point of collection to the point of destruction. Staff may only transfer personal data to third-party service providers who agree to comply with the required policies and procedures and who agree to put adequate measures in place, as requested (see sections 14 and 15 below).

    9. Staff must comply with all applicable aspects of Llanishen RFC’s INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY or OTHER OR comply with and not attempt to circumvent the administrative, physical and technical safeguards implemented and maintained in accordance with data protection law and relevant standards to protect personal data].

  1. Accountability
    1. Llanishen RFC must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure compliance with data protection principles (set out in 4.2 above). Llanishen RFC is responsible for, and must be able to demonstrate, compliance with the data protection principles.

    2. Llanishen RFC must have adequate resources and controls in place to ensure and to document data protection law compliance including:

      1. appointing a suitably qualified DPO (where necessary)] OR [appointing a [data protection manager or other] with responsibility for data protection compliance;

      2. implementing data protection by design and default when processing personal data to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws (see section 12 below);

      3. completing Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) to identify and reduce risks of a data processing activity, where processing presents a high risk to rights and freedoms of individuals. DPIAs should be conducted for all major system or business change programs involving the processing of personal data particularly those involving new initiatives or technology (see section 12 below);

      4. integrating data protection into internal documents, policies and procedures including this Data Protection Policy;

      5. regularly training staff on applicable data protection law, this Data Protection Policy, related policies [and privacy guidelines] and data protection matters including, for example, individual rights, consent, legal basis, DPIAs and personal data breaches; and

      6. regularly testing the privacy measures implemented and conducting periodic reviews and audits to assess compliance, including using results of testing to demonstrate compliance improvement effort.

  1. Privacy By Design and Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
    1. Llanishen RFC is required to implement privacy by design when processing personal data by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures in an effective manner, to ensure compliance with data privacy principles.

    2. Llanishen RFC must assess what privacy by design measures can be implemented on all programs/systems/processes that process personal data by taking into account the following:

      1. the state of the art (i.e. the highest level of general development, as of a device, procedure, process or technique achieved at the particular time);

      2. the cost of implementation;

      3. the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing; and

      4. the risks of varying likelihood and severity for rights and freedoms of individuals posed by the processing.

    3. Llanishen RFC must conduct DPIAs in respect of processing which is considered to be high risk (for example where processing involves special category personal data on a large scale).

    4. Staff should contact the DATA PROTECTION OFFICER and conduct a DPIA when implementing major system or business change programs involving the processing of personal data including:

      1. use of new technologies (programs, systems or processes), or changing technologies (programs, systems or processes);

      2. automated processing including profiling and automated decision making;

      3. large scale processing of special category data; and

      4. large scale, systematic monitoring of a publicly accessible area (e.g. under CCTV).

    5. A DPIA must include:

      1. a description of the processing, its purposes and the data controller's legitimate interests if appropriate;

      2. an assessment of the necessity and proportionality of the processing in relation to its purpose;

      3. an assessment of the risk to individuals; and

      4. the risk mitigation measures in place and demonstration of compliance.

  1. Consent
    1. Llanishen RFC must ensure personal data is processed on the basis of one or more of the lawful bases set out in 5.2 above, one of which is consent.

    2. In order for an individual to validly consent to the processing of their personal data, that consent must be freely given, specific, informed and be an unambiguous indication of the individual’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear positive action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

    3. Consent requires affirmative action so silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity are not sufficient.

    4. If consent is given in a document which deals with other matters, then the consent must be kept separate from those other matters.

    5. Individuals must be easily able to withdraw consent to processing at any time and withdrawal must be promptly honoured. Consent may need to be refreshed if Llanishen RFC intends to process personal data for a different and incompatible purpose which was not disclosed when the individual first consented.

    6. Consent should not be relied upon as the legal basis for processing, if another more appropriate legal basis applies.

    7. Consent should not usually be relied upon where there is an imbalance in the relationship between the individual and Llanishen RFC for example in the context of an employer/employee relationship.

    8. Explicit consent is usually required for:

      1. Processing special category personal data (although staff should contact the DATA PROTECTION OFFICER, to determine the most appropriate legal basis for processing special category data).

      2. Automated decision-making; and

      3. Cross border data transfers.

    9. Explicit consent requires a very clear and specific statement of consent from the individual (that is, not just action) and the individual should be provided with detailed information in relation to the specific purpose for which explicit consent it being sought.

    10. Staff will need keep records of all consents so that Llanishen RFC can demonstrate compliance with consent requirements.

  1. Limitations on transfers of data
    1. Data protection law restricts data transfers to countries outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) in order to ensure that the level of data protection afforded to individuals is not undermined. Personal data is transferred from the originating country across borders when it is transmitted, sent, viewed or access in a different country.

    2. Llanishen RFC may only transfer personal data outside the EEA if one of the following conditions applies:

      1. the European Commission has issued a decision confirming that the country to which the personal data is transferred ensures an adequate level of protection for the individuals’ rights and freedoms (an ‘adequacy decision’);

      2. appropriate safeguards are in place such as binding corporate rules (which are standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission), an approved code of conduct or a certification mechanism, [a copy of which can be obtained from the DPO];
